The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

The Magicians tomb

I had some time to sit down and try out the new June annual style for CC3. This is the result after an evenings work. It really is a great style with some gorgeous graphics.
The map itself is mostly just a test and I decided to call it the Magicians tomb. When I was finished the map was a bit small compared to the size I had choosen in CC3 so I cut it down in Photoshop and added a bit of a darker border.
Hope you like it

I really like these isometric maps. They give a great visualization of the archetecture that top-down views don't give you. It would be great if you had a top-down view, as well, for battle maps, etc. but this one is simple enough that it could be drawn out by hand or in MapTool.
